Chapter 2286 Drinking Alone
The sound of horse hooves.
After a while, Ye Zheng arrived at the bustling market.
Although it is winter and the weather is cold, your breath turns to ice, and it gets dark early, the streets of Peking are always bustling as the weather gets colder. At this moment, the streets are bustling with people, and the shouts of vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the street can be heard one after another.
There were also waiters with towels draped over their shoulders standing at the door, eagerly soliciting customers.
Ye Zheng's horse stopped in front of a restaurant.
Two strings of red lanterns were hung on both sides of the gate, illuminating the plaque on the door. It was exactly what He Yi had just mentioned, Swallow Tower.
He looked up and saw that there were not many customers inside. This was because Yanzilou was considered a relatively high-end restaurant in the city. The food and wine there were more exquisite than those in ordinary restaurants, and there were also fine wines that had been cellared for many years. Therefore, the customers who came and went were naturally either rich or noble, so there were not that many of them.
As soon as he stopped, he immediately dismounted.
The waiter ran out of the gate, took the reins he threw to him, and said with a smile, "What do you want, sir?"
Ye Zheng walked in with his hands behind his back.
The waiter handed the horse to the groom behind, then followed with an apologetic smile. As Ye Zheng walked upstairs, he said, "Just this afternoon, was there a man wearing official uniform like me who came here to drink?"
The waiter's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Sir, you are talking about Master Heyi, right?"
"Huh? Did he really come?"
"Yes, Lord Heyi has been coming to our Swallow Tower from time to time these days."
"Come for a drink?"
"yes."
"one person."
"Exactly."
"Is there anyone with him?"
"That's not the case. Lord Hei likes quietness, so after he orders the food and drinks, he doesn't need me to serve him."
"Where do you drink?"
"In the private room upstairs."
"He's alone, and he wants a private room?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Master Heyi is obviously not an ordinary person. With his immortal aura, he naturally doesn't want to hang out with these vulgar people outside. So, every time he comes, he goes to that private room. Our shopkeeper has reserved that room for him."
"oh?"
Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, then said, "Take me up to have a look."
"yes."
The waiter walked in front of him attentively and led him upstairs.
There weren't many guests on the second floor. There were eight private rooms in two rows against the wall, all closed. The waiter led him to the door of a private room called "Yunlan," opened the door, and said, "This is it."
Ye Zheng stood at the door and looked inside.
There was just a table and a few chairs inside, two paintings hanging on the wall, and a pot of chrysanthemums and a pot of asparagus fern placed by the wall.
Simple, yet elegant.
Moreover, this private room called "Yunlan" is the innermost one among all the private rooms. It is very quiet and few people see you when you enter or leave.
Ye Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Go down and bring me a portion of his wine and food."
"Okay."
The waiter immediately went out to get busy.
Just as Ye Zheng walked into the private room and closed the door, the door of a private room next to it opened.
A thin figure walked out from inside and quickly walked to the stairs and went downstairs.
His footsteps were light, accompanied only by a slight cough.
When his back disappeared at the stairs, Ye Zheng pushed open the door of the private room, stood at the door and looked out.
